Watch your language, I have students here!

About Me

I'm at the point of my life where I'm trying to look at myself from the outside in. I'm trying to notice why and how I say and do things. I'm constantly learning that I need to improve myself. I'm working on being more humble and having more humility towards everyone. I don't believe respect should be earned, it should already be there. I like to volunteer when I have the time. We all seem to dwell on the past, worry about the future but rarely do we live and appreciate the present moments. Next time we crack a smile or laugh, sit back and appreciate it because that small moment is the so called, "Happiness" we search for in life. I have 2 kittens- one boy and one girl named Jack and Jackie. I don't know if theyre smart enough to hear the difference when I call their names. Performing makes me high. I've never smoked, gambled, done drugs or drank alcohol in my life. I don't think this makes me a better person, I just don't choose to do these things. I'm trying and wanting to love everybody because every bad person has a good side and every good person has a bad side. I believe forgiveness is key. It's the key to true love between brothers, sisters and lovers. It's the key to having joy and peace in your heart. It releases all anger and bitterness in your soul. It's the key to being content with yourself.

To all the artists....

  I have a saying, "Think out of of the box with one foot in".  With no foundation or base, you may tend to get carried away and be a little too "off".  You don't have to be an exp...

Feeling down, unsure, need inspiration?
